Sažetak
The discourse on the learned jurists, appeal and consilia in late medieval Dalmatia opens a whole range of questions about the policy of law and politics. The potential, as well as the hazardousness of legal knowledge and skills was clear to both Hungarian King and Venetian Republic. Whereas Louis' royal policy fully awarded and mobilized the "technical" potential of the law, the Venetian Republic was more inclined towards the "political" administration of it. The first considered the professional layers and the opinion of the university colleges to be a useful tool to create an efficient judiciary, and meet the wish of the local communities on the periphery of the realm, too. On the contrary, the opinions of legal experts attached to the universities did not fit within the objective of the new Venetian administration to control the judiciary and limit the external influences on it. In sum, a turbulent history of late medieval Dalmatia shows very clearly how practice of counselling and appeal was deeply influenced by the general policy of law of the two states.
